That deer is a stud. Very cool antlers. Congrats, that's a deer of a lifetime for many folks. Glad you connected on him.
Thanks for the kind words guys! It was a private land hunt. We did a swap hunt with a guy and he owns some land out there near his house, it was not guided other then him pointing out his stand locations and were the deer travel. No fences either! He came up to maine to bear hunt with us, and now it's a yearly tradition!
That's awesome. I've done that with waterfowl over the years and made some great friends swapping hunts. Congrats again on your deer.
